Coppermoly : Quarterly Activities and Cashflow

About this update from Coppermoly Limited
30 April 2024 ASX Code: COY March 2024 Quarterly Activities Report The following report details the operating and corporate activities of Coppermoly Ltd (Coppermoly or the Company) for the quarter ended 31 March 2024. SUMMARY Optimization of drill targets and preparation for drilling at Shuffleton Prospect for when weather permits Planning geochemical survey along the Cloncurry Fault Zone Lodged new application over Jessievale copper prospect 55 km north of Cloncurry Ongoing generation of exploration targets for copper gold mineralisations within granted tenements Coppermoly is well capitalised with cash reserves of ~$2.6 million as of 31 March 2024 Overview The Company is focused on copper gold projects in one of the world's most prospective terrains, the Mount Isa Inlier. The Company's Mt Isa projects include two granted tenements and five applied tenements, four of them with high-quality IOCG potential are located within the Eastern Succession and one for Isa style copper system sits in the Western Foldbelt (Fig 1). All seven tenements are 100% owned by the Company. As of 31 March 2024, the Company had interests in the following mineral exploration tenements in Mt Isa, Queensland Australia: PROJECT Granted Exploration Permit EXPIRY DATE AREA LOCATION EPM 27835 Fox Creek 4 October 2026 320 km2 Mt Isa, Queensland EPM 27836 Mount Tracey 7 March 2027 294 km2 Mt Isa, Queensland Applied Exploration Permit LOGED DATE AREA LOCATION EPM 27852 Windy Hill 16 March 2023 320 km2 Mt Isa, Queensland EPM 28853 Malakoff 19 June 2023 305 km2 Mt Isa, Queensland EPM 28854 Mt Marathon 19 June 2023 310 km2 Mt Isa, Queensland EPM 28981 Dynamite 20 December 2023 307 km2 Mt Isa, Queensland EPM 29002 Jessievale* 1 March 2024 35.5 km2 Mt Isa, Queensland *A competing application 1 Figure 1 - Tenement locations on simplified regional geology map of Mount Isa Inlier, Northwest Queensland. 2 Shuffleton Prospect The Shuffleton Prospect is about about 55 km SSW of Cloncurry, and structurally situated within the major crustal scale Cloncurry Fault Zone., where the soldiers Cap Group were interpreted to be thrust westward over the Doherty/Corella Formation. A number of historical copper mines and workings were reportedly operated from 1940s to 1960s. A broad soil geochemical anomaly along the fault zone was highlighted through a systematic reviewing of historical data by the Company. Detailed geological and geophysical interpretation identified several targets in this area, where an IP Sounding Surveys was conducted during the October quarter of 2023. Two broad IP chargebility anomany zones (SCM1 And SCM2) were identified (Fig. 2). A resistivity contract across the Soldiers Cap Group and Corella/Doherty Formations is mapped out on the pseudo-profiles (Fig. 3). Figure 2. Location map of proposed RC holes over IP survey stations/lines and chargeability contours at -400 m depth at Shuffleton Prospect. Note a chargeability high anomaly near the Mt Kalkadoon Mine (Map Projection GDA94, Zone 54). The partially mined out ore zone at Mt Kalkadoon Mine shows only a weak dyke shape anomaly extending downdip for about 200 m detected, but links to a more notable chargeability anomaly at around 250m. Two holes are planned to test the downdip extension of the Mt Kalkadoon copper zone and the chargeability anomaly (Fig 3). 3 Figure 3. - 2D chargeability psedusection (top) and resistivity pseudosection (bottom) of Line 1000 over the Mt Kalkadoon Mine. Note that SCM01 is about 250m below the known ore zone but sits above a major fault zone. 4 An additional larger chargeability anomaly (SCM02) with high conductivity zone lies 500m east of the Mt Kalkadoon Mine. This chargeability anomaly also dips steeply to the northeast. Two holes are proposed to test the SCM anomaly shortly. The RC drilling program will start when the weather condition permit in the next quarter. Windy Hill Prospect (EPM27851) This application was advertised by the Queensland Mine Department for native title issue, and the company's negotiation with Yulluna People is progressing. The company expects the application will be approved in the third quarter of 2024. Jessievale Prospect (EPM 29002) The Jessievale application is located about 50 km north of the Cloncurry. The application consists of 11 subblocks and sits next to our existing Mt Malakoff Project (EPM 28853). Figure 4. Location map of Jessievale Project (EPM29002) on Mount Isa Regional Aeromagnetic Survey Mount Isa Merge 2020 TMI 0.5VD. (Map projection GDA94, Zone 54) The application area was released from a moratorium by the Queensland Mine Department at the end of February 2024. The area hosts two known copper occurrences: Jessievale copper prospect and Cattle Creek copper prospect. Previous efforts at those two copper prospects revealed the mineralisation is situated within the MFC Volcanics and displays similar geophysical signatures as an IOCG system. A preliminary assessment recognizes that the MFC Volcanics observed at Jessievale prospect likely extends 5 into company's Malakoff Project area (EPM28835, Fig 4). Therefore further investigation of the potential for copper gold mineralisation in the area is warranted. Corporate Activity As of 31 March 2024, the Company had cash reserves of ~$2.6 million. During the quarter the Company made payments totaling $86k to related parties or their associates. These payments represented remuneration paid to the Managing Director ($42k), Non-Executive Directors ($20k) and payments for financial, corporate secretarial and bookkeeping services ($24k) to an entity associated with a Non-Executive Director.
